Androids and Communicators and Social Media, Oh My!

Testing 1, 2...I recently (finally) got myself an intelligent phone and just downloaded the Blogger app. My own little cyberspace communicator. Hopefully this will make posting here a little easier, and so, more frequent. I have begun to distance myself more and more from Facebook, and plan to refocus my sharing efforts here, on the blog that started it all. (i have issues with Facebook's privacy, and also, don't care about my "friends" eating habits, or who is doing what with who, or the like. The whole thing has become very surreal to me, this social media craze. In my "real" life I am an extremely private, very quiet guy. I don't want privacy to become a "remember when"....end rant :)...so here we go. Welcome to 2013 :)

Krampus is getting anxious with me....I fear I may get coal next Christmas if I don't get off my keester and get busy....

I am Jeffrey Roché...

...an artist, exploring techniques in any and all media, though some of my favorites include charcoal, acrylic & oil painting, and woodcut printmaking. My focus over the past five years or so has been stop-motion animation, which draws on every ounce of my creativity, from sculpting and painting to photography, and everything in between.

No matter which medium I am working in, my themes remain consistent. I consider myself to be a Modern Magical Realist, incorporating magical or mythical elements into otherwise everyday settings and situations. Magic exists in the mundane, all around us in daily life, but especially here in New Orleans. There is a mystical vibe in this city that inspires me as an artist. I've felt it all my life, under the moss-covered oaks of City Park, on the wrought-iron balconies of the French Quarter, near the banks of the Mighty Mississippi, or amidst the cold marble of Lafayette Cemetery.
